    Abandoned at Chapter 50. I gave it a chance to find its voice, but when it finally did, it was grating; the Gilbert Gottfried of narrative voice. Pacing is slow, and most chapters fail to advance the story.

    It feels like the author couldn't wait to establish the story, and instead drops us into a wish fulfillment fantasy

    Needs editing desperately. Also, kid is presented in this chapter as being an alchemical genius, a great magician, and a superior fighter. So, instead of a nice progression montage, we come in after he's already leagues ahead of his contemporaries. Perhaps I'm being overly harsh, but I really don't recommend this story. Dropping it here.

    Chapter feels like filler, with not much here to advance the story. I feel like the story is going to be more filler than substance. It doesn't help that the world building is clumsily handled

    Have you never spent the lottery money you haven't yet won? It's a common thing.

    This is something of a contradictory statement.

    Currently on Chapter 960. Author is fond of repetitive information dumps, but as it's generally inside various characters heads, it makes sense. I've begun skimming long sections of each chapter whenever the story starts rehashing previously presented information, which is often. I find myself thinking it's unlikely I'll complete the story, because repetition eventually is just too boring

    This is disappointing, but the author is only obligated to be true to themselves. It's a shame that the story ends without a sense of completion.

    Author seems to have no respect for the readers, as he's constantly interjecting little {notes} to define words and explain plot points. I was getting used to ignoring all the definitions, when suddenly he had to explain to me a character's motivation. If your characters behavior requires author notes to explain, your character is not well written. It's more annoying simply because nothing essential is lost if he would just believe his readers have the ability to follow a plot

    There is a story where the necromancer has an enchanted spade as his main weapon, and uses it very effectively.

    I'm giving the story full marks for what has been achieved in both story and translation. I stopped after it was no longer free. While entertaining, it's a little like saccharine on the taste buds. Overpoweringly sweet, with a strange aftertaste. As vicious as that may sound, I'm not implying that it's not a fun read. Though, it does help if you like children. It's an interesting protagonist who, when reborn, dives wholeheartedly into being a single parent.

    Okay. I'll forgive the lack of personal pronouns because of "Melon Regiment." 🤣

    Say! She's a bright little girl, and has quickly learned multiplication. How about teaching her grammar next? Perhaps starting with pronouns? A great place to start would be the word "I".

    So, why not use inferior ingredients sourced locally? Or is he unable to cook anything without the specific ingredients?
